Unpublished The Times Letter - number 14

. . . continuing my series of unpublished letters submitted to The Times in London --

Sir,

Theresa May wants the Prime Minister “to adopt tougher measures” against the abuse of EU migration rules. But is she ready to support identity cards? EU countries with them are more easily deporting Europeans abusing rules because identity cards can help provide evidence of this. I shall wait to see if her rhetoric meets the realities.
